Description
Delightful muffins filled with warm spices and a cozy taste, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup salted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sweetened molasses
- 1/2 cup milk (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coarse sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the molasses, milk, eggs, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Use a rubber spatula and mix just until combined. Avoid over mixing to keep the muffins light.
- Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with batter.
- Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each muffin for added crunch.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a stronger spice flavor, consider increasing the amounts of ginger and cinnamon slightly. You can also add nuts or chocolate chips for variation.
